After hearing about DEB being forced from 25.00 I decided to update an older Island to DEB to see how it went and to be ready for potential problems.
The actual conversion seemed to go smoothly. I quickly discovered however that DEB does not seem to work at all in the pregame. That is to say, any mechanics that operate in the pregame which worked fine with channels no longer works under DEB (even after checking everything is routing correctly).
This issue (which I view as critical) is easy to reproduce. Simply place a couple of triggers in the pregame area with default settings (enabled at game start). Have one trigger the other after a 5 second trigger delay. Publish and load in. Once in the islands pregame have the player run over the first trigger. You will see it flash during the 5s delay. However you’ll notice the 2nd trigger will not fire once the delay has ended. This worked fine under the channel system in the pregame.
Is this a known issue?
